Domestic Animal Management Plan

A guide to local laws surrounding pet and animal ownership in the Central Goldfields Shire.

Multiple Dogs and Cats

Residents are allowed to keep up to two dogs and/or two cats without a permit in a residential area and up to six dogs and four cats in a rural/farming area.

Lost or missing animals

The Central Goldfields Shire Pound is Council-owned and operated and cares for hundreds of lost and surrendered animals every year, including cats, dogs and various livestock including sheep, pigs, horses, poultry and cattle.

Pets for adoption

The Central Goldfields Shire Pound is an ideal place to visit if you are looking for a new animal addition to the family.

Off Leash Dog Park

The Central Goldfields Shire has one designated 'Off-Leash Dog Park' area where dogs can socialise and meet other dogs and owners can make new friends too.

Livestock

Livestock on roads pose a great danger to motorists. If you own or provide agistment for livestock, you must set up and maintain adequate fencing so the animals you keep on your land cannot escape.

Injured or dead animals and snakes

If you find an injured domestic animal or livestock, contact our Local Laws team.
